👏 IC Alumna’s Choice: Michelin-Recommended Pho Canteen 💕

Dear readers, I’m here to passionately recommend a Michelin-recommended pho place. It’s a pho place I frequented during my studies. Having eaten at many Vietnamese restaurants in London, Go Viet is one of the few that made me want to come back immediately after finishing my meal. This place is Michelin-recommended, and the pho broth is beautifully clear and umami! Moreover, they excel not only in Vietnamese cuisine but also in crafting excellent cocktails. 🥢 This time, we ordered: ✨ Seafood Pho - When it was served, the aroma of the broth alone was already incredibly inviting. The shrimp 🦐 and squid 🦑 were delightfully bouncy and refreshingly sweet, without any excess oiliness. The freshness of the seafood was perfectly captured, and the rice noodles were just the right texture, making the whole experience exceptionally comfortable. ✨ Must-try: Foie Gras Chicken Wings - Unexpectedly delicious! The chicken wings were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the aroma of foie gras infused into every bite. ✨ Grilled Octopus - The octopus was cooked to perfection, slightly charred on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. You could taste the natural sweetness of the octopus, and the spicy sauce added a wonderful layer of flavor. ✨ Vietnamese Spring Rolls - I’ve had many Vietnamese spring rolls, but theirs had particularly thin yet resilient skin. The filling was refreshing, and paired with their special sauce, it was just the right balance of sweet and sour. ✨ Soft Shell Crab - Fried to an exceptional crispiness, yet the crab meat inside remained fresh and juicy. Each bite delivered a satisfying crunch, aroma, and freshness. 🍸 What also impressed me were the cocktails. I wasn’t expecting much from the bar, but the bartender casually mixed up something truly divine. 🍹 Lychee Martini - The sweetness of the lychee and the pungency of the alcohol were perfectly balanced. The initial sip offered a delicate fruity aroma, followed by a subtly intoxicating and sophisticated aftertaste. 🍹 Fruity Punch - A fruit-filled Punch with a clever balance of sweet and sour, making it an ideal pairing for fried foods (this is a mocktail, a must-try for non-drinkers). Dining here is truly satisfying, and you can feel the dedication in the cooking and cocktail making. It’s a place that makes me want to come back again and again (for two years!). 📍 Gỗ ✨ If you enjoy pho that’s hard to resist, you absolutely must try this place! #Explore #London #HiddenGemRestaurant #RestaurantRecommendations #ImperialCollege #SouthKensington #LondonPho
